"My Lord, your wife is truly too petty. After all, you are her husband. How can you allow outsiders to speak of you like that?" Fang Rou continued to flatter Lu Jing as she undressed him. "She even had her family rush over. She truly doesn't take the Marquis's Mansion seriously."
Lu Jing was extremely worried about this matter.
However, Fang Rou's words touched his heart.
"I just spoiled her!" Lu Jing was furious. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Shen Ruoyan's fault. "Every day, she brings up her status as the daughter of the Shen family. She must have forgotten that she is already a member of my Lu family!"
What is your plan for asking your mother's family to come to Shengjing?
Are you seeking justice for yourself?
And they want a divorce! Lu Jing felt that he had spoiled Shen Ruoyan too much, which was why she had changed from being so gentle to being so arrogant!
A woman should obey her husband after marriage. So what if she suffers a little grievance?
Why make it known to everyone?
He is so embarrassed!
"After all, Madam is from the Shen family. She can be willful only when she has someone to rely on." Fang Rou's voice suddenly dropped when she said this. "Unlike me, even if I'm wronged, I can only endure it myself."
She was born in a humble family and had no family on her side, so the only person she could rely on in this marquis's mansion was Lu Jing.
"Fortunately, I met the Marquis. With the Marquis here, I am not afraid of anything."
That day, Lu Jing asked Shen Ruoyan to apologize for him. Although he failed, this action was enough to make Fang Rou burst into tears of gratitude. Although Lu Jing was criticized for this, so what?
Those people are just sour grapes because they can't eat them. Secretly, they envy her for some reason!
Lu Jing rubbed his forehead tiredly, "If only she could be half as sensible as you..."
At this time, the ignorant Shen Ruoyan was lying in bed eating cherries, claiming to be sick!
Chun Xi smiled as she removed the cherry pits and replaced them with a new plate. "People outside say that the Marquis favors his concubine over his wife and has poor personal ethics. I heard that the situation was so bad that the Marquis even took a leave of absence."
If Lu Jing goes out now, he will become the laughing stock of others.
How could he, a man who cares so much about his reputation, tolerate this?
Qiu Ye also felt relieved. In the past, their wives were always bullied. Every time, they were so wronged that they kept silent and could only come back alone, crying silently.
Unlike now, we will fight back when necessary and will not tolerate it at all!
However, she was still a little worried. "Madam, you always said that the Lu family didn't like you talking about your identity as a daughter of the Shen family. Is it really okay to tear your relationship apart like this?"
Shen Ruoyan scoffed, “Of course it’s okay.”
The original owner was simply a lovesick person, the kind who couldn't even keep his mind for the sake of love!
Just because when she entered the mansion that year, Mrs. Lu mentioned that she was already married and should not mention her identity as a daughter of the Shen family anymore. For so many years, she really didn't mention it again!
She is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, which comes from a family of scholars. Her ancestors have produced several tutors. Even the current emperor was taught by Shen Mo.
Although the Shen family does not compete for official positions, there are disciples of the Shen family everywhere in the court.
To be honest, the Changning Marquis Mansion, which is empty inside, is really no match!
But Chen Ruoyan loved Lu Jing too deeply, and thought that her unlimited dedication and compromise would be exchanged for pity and love.
Unfortunately, she never got a single point until her death!
"They don't like it because they are afraid that I will use the identity of the Shen family to put pressure on them." Shen Ruoyan had seen through it a long time ago. Although they said they were a family of meritorious service, they were actually just a paper tiger that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
She has such a powerful background but she doesn't use it, instead she insists on being subservient. Is she stupid?!
"I was blind before, but I won't be anymore."
Shen Ruoyan's attitude made Chun Xi and Qiu Ye jealous. Their young lady finally woke up!
"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Qiu Ye couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she thought about the frustrating days in the mansion. "Young lady used to be so favored at home, but these years in the Marquis' Mansion, she has almost suffered all the hardships of her life..."
It's more than just a lifetime, in fact, even your life is at stake!
Shen Ruoyan laughed and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen again in the future."
The outside opinions were still developing in a direction favorable to Shen Ruoyan. Lu Jing stayed in the mansion every day, feeling restless. And Fang Rou, who caused all this, was not having a good time at this time.
Because Brother Kang went to find Shen Ruoyan!
"Mother! I don't want to change my teacher. Please let Brother Kang come back!"
After studying with Master Song for two days, Lu Ankang could no longer sit still. If he hadn't experienced Master Pei's teaching, the gap in his heart wouldn't have been so great.
But after tasting the swan, how could one look down on a toad?
"Mother, Kang Ge is obedient. He listens to you in everything. Please let Kang Ge come back!" Lu Ankang cried with tears and snot. When he raised his hand, there were several red marks on his wrist.
That was when Master Song beat him when he got angry because he saw that his handwriting had made no progress!
Shen Ruoyan looked at him in embarrassment, "Brother Kang, it's not that mother doesn't want to, but mother has no other choice about this matter."
She sighed softly and said resentfully, "Of course I want you children to live happily. But Grandmother said that you are the future of the Marquisate and should not be spoiled like this. Even Aunt Fang said that I was too lenient with you and asked the Marquis to reprimand me."
Lu Ankang widened his eyes. So that's how it is!
No wonder, he was learning well under Master Pei, but was suddenly taken back!
Those people also spoke ill of their mother, saying that she was partial to Lu Changchuan, didn't let him study well, and told him to stay away from her.
Pooh!
His mother is the one who treats him well. She doesn't force him to study, nor does she get angry if he can't write well - this is what true love means to him!
Shen Ruoyan pulled up his sleeve distressedly, her eyes red, "Was he beaten by the teacher? How pitiful..."
After saying that, he quickly ordered: "Chun Xi, what are you still standing there for? Come and apply medicine to the young master."
Chun Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately responded, "Yes, Madam, I will be there right away!"
She quickly brought in some external medicine and gently applied it to Lu Ankang's hands. She blew on it and said, "This teacher is too harsh. The young master is still so young, why would he need to use such harsh methods?"
Shen Ruoyan sighed and pressed the corner of his eyes with his sleeves, “What a poor child…”
Then, realizing that what he said was wrong, he quickly tried to make amends, "Brother Kang, don't misunderstand me. Grandmother is actually doing this for your own good. And Aunt Fang, I think she values you very much too, which is why she asked the Marquis to take you back to be taught by Master Song individually."
Individual teaching naturally means giving special treatment. As a mother, how could Fang Rou give up?
However, in Lu Ankang's mind, it might not be the same.
Shen Ruoyan's skill in adding fuel to the fire is first-rate. "Don't blame them, they are all doing this for your own good..."
